Default What is the proper clutch install direction
Doing a clutch change, not 100% sure which way clutch disk is supposed to be installed, asking for some insight.

Does the buldging side face away or towards the flywheel?

Did you take pictures when disassembling it or are you asking before disassembly?

Step away and have someone who knows what they are doing help you out in person.

I unfortunately did not get to as when i pulled off the clutch cover the clutch disk popped out onto the ground, so I am not 100% certain on which way the clutch is supposed to go.

If it's like every other manual car I've worked on the shorter side (less protrusion) goes towards the flywheel.
